with n crnsh, huge mass Of mingled

another, smaller one. But the strangest
feature of this curious monster was that
II was covered with hair.
AT first, the astonished discoveries
thought the creature was alive, and that
it had pushed aside the earth and was
coming out. But the great rhinoceroE
was dead, and had probably been en-.
tombed thousands Of years. The body
was frozen as bard as stone, and the hair.
covered hide seemed like frozen leather,
and did not hang in folds as does the
skin Of living species. Several months
passed before the animal was entirely un
covered, and so perfectly had nature pre-
served it, that il was then cut up md tn,
flesh given to the dogs.
The news Of this discovery passed from
native to native and from town to town
until il reached the ears Of government
officer. He at once sent orders for thu
preservation of the CARCASS, but the fest
had already been destroyed; and nov
only its head and feet are preserved il

CUSTOMS At H4RROW.


In Harrow on-the-Hill Elizabeth
I.ouIrs Fe, 1ell. in 81, Niclt054S for April
says Tue old schUUi-hUps / Harrow is
stiu stand ag. There is room lwu
sSuiIs where all the boys III the early days
had their classes. But now il is only used
two or three times week, when masters
and scholars assemble in it for prayers. 1t
is long, narrow room, with high, Old
fashioned windows. The walls are vain
scoted, and all over the wainscoting and
on the benches and desks, on the masters
tables, and even on the head masters
chair, sehool-boys for the last 800 years
have carved their names. Some Of
these names are large and sprawiy,
others small and neat and they are 30
close together that there is no space
left for any new ones to be added. On
one side, in very large letters, Byron's
name is cut in two different places, and
near it is that of Peel, the great English
statesman. The boys We're really for
hidden &c do this; and every name, you
may be sure, represents good punish
ment. But the masters are now glad that
the boys were disobedient: for many
became famous in after life, aud their
school-boy carvings are pointed out with
pride. HarroviaIs as Harrow boys are
called, now have their names carved for
them on new panels fastened to the wall
for the purpose, and they think it quite
an honor.
The boys at Harrow all wear white
straw hats with very wide brlms which
they call 'straws.N These have either
blue or black ribbons around their
crowns, and an elastic such ia little girls
wear on their hats, which the boys pull
down little way over thsir LAR lit the
back Of their heads. II can not be of
much use; but then, ! suppose, Hnrro-
VANS have always worn it, and so they
still keep it, just as the Biue-coAts keep
their yellow stockings. 1Ls cricket

boys wear these LHts all the year around,

them on Sundays for tall silk hats. The

they always look rs if they were in hal

Moatliv for April, says Not very long

daughter, II years OF age, 70 see me pro-
fessionally. The child was on her way
to school, and had with her satchel full
OF books. She was pale, tall and thin.
Tho muscles OF her face twitohed conyul-
siyely, and she could rot keep her hands
and feet still. She was suffering from
chorea, or st. Vitus' dance, and, in adj.
ton. had almost constant headache and
symptoms OF nervous arrangement. In
the course OF my examination ] asked
her to empty her satchel OF the books u
contained and which. az aha informed
me, she had been studying that morning
and the night before. This Is the list;
l. An English grammar. q A scholars
companion. 3. An arithmetic. A
geography. 6 A history Of the United
States. 6 An elementary guide TO
astronomy. 2. A temperance Pnysi1lugy
and hygiene (whatever that may hey s..
A method OF learning French. D.. A
French reading book.

P1TrsuuRo, March 25.-Seysral years
ago the Waveriy Goal Company had tilt
with organized labor, which, at the time,
attracted no little attention, as some Of
the prominent labor advocates were put
in prison and litigation was begun which
dragged on for years afterwards. Since
that time the men employed by the COM
pany at the Smithton mines, on the B. &
.. railroad, have been working under
an agreement by which part of their
wages was always held in the Office, so
that GO days notice was required before
a man could quit.
II seems that the Knights OF Labor
concluded to destroy the system, so the
men gave the required notice, got their
money and quit. The men say that there
